In 2305, Cao Chuan returned to the Centaur Alpha after a long absence, but there were not many people he knew here, the new generation of regular employees of the East Galaxy Company, the outstanding among the pioneers, and the immigrants from other countries, for him, they were already the same as passers-by.

He looked at the galaxy and hoped that there would be a billion people on Star B, and while no one liked the environment on Hope - the scorching heat and the disturbing gravity, everyone loved such a bustling city.

If the environment can be continuously modified by genetically modified organisms, it can be achieved by forced adaptation by genetic modulation; The strength of the economy would not have been possible if it were not for the unique geographical location and planetary ecology of Centaur Alpha.

Now, Centaur Alpha is incomparably prosperous, and the economy built by local characteristic industries and interstellar trade has brought jobs, salaries, and a rich material and spiritual life, and it has become a dream place for many people.

He looked at the city agglomeration covered by several continental shelves on the Hope Star, and he had to admit that the city was quite majestic, beautiful, just like a beautiful starry sky, in addition to these, Centaur Alpha also became the station of the Fifth Combat Fleet "Nova", and recently, with the full strength of the Fourth Combat Fleet "Infinite Advance", the Fifth Fleet has also entered the preparatory stage.

However, this time, since it has been 100 years since the formation of the Havoc Fleet and 100 years since the advent of the third-generation spaceship, the Supreme Command and the Academy of Sciences have unanimously agreed to make some big moves, and at the same time as the formation of the ship, complete the improvement and optimization of the spacecraft, so that the combat effectiveness of the fleet can be leapfrogged.

Who made the spacecraft with individual equipment, strategic weapons, unmanned units is still a little different. In many cases, it is a big project, and if it is not planned, the performance may decline after the transformation, and there will be various drawbacks, and it cannot be tested and installed at any time.

Cao Chuan was in charge of redesigning the drawings. The drawings of the three levels of spacecraft have been changed by 20% and more than 50%, so that many new technologies and new equipment can be integrated.

The drawings born through the rule simulation are of guaranteed quality, representing the ultimate performance of the same generation of spacecraft, or the king of cost performance, so no one thinks there is anything wrong with letting Mr. Consultant make a move.

The drawings came out, and several shipyards built prototypes based on it. The ship was then sent to the Nova flotilla of Centaur Alpha, where they were responsible for receiving it.

"Is our new ship coming?" Several soldiers excitedly looked at the spaceship in the sky that was temporarily taken over by artificial intelligence, knowing that this feeling of waiting was really torturous, especially when they heard that they would be the first to try the newly improved third-generation spaceship made by the East Galaxy Company, which made them look forward to it more and more.

The spaceship landed slowly, and from the outside, it was of the same generation and the same level. Both length, width. There is no difference in the bridge configuration, the muzzle layout, including the color of the paintwork, and the logo of the East Galaxy, but perhaps the shape of the original spaceship is ahead of the times, which fascinates every soldier.

Then the first soldiers of the Nova fleet stepped into the ship. What they didn't expect was that there was already a group of people in the spacecraft, they were researchers at the Pacific Ship Research Institute under the Academy of Sciences, staff officers sent by the Supreme Command, and the officer corps. There is also the Honorary Advisor who has just arrived at Centaur Alpha, and the Administrator is here.

Such a luxurious procession inevitably made these soldiers feel a great pressure, and they calmed down when they saw the commander hint at them with a kind look in their eyes.

"The first demonstration was the speed performance of the spacecraft... The speed of the improved flying star, morning star, and group star will be roughly increased by about 30%, taking the flying star spaceship as an example, the speed of conventional space will increase to 200,000 km/s, the space folding rate will be 55 times, and the limit speed will reach 35 times the speed of light. ”

After the officer in charge of the presiding officer finished speaking, the demonstration began, and everyone waited patiently, of course, the improvement of speed is very conventional, except for the usefulness of dispatching operations from a long distance, it does not matter much to the operation.

"The second item is the protective performance of the outer armor plate..."

"The third is the ability to process information..."

It can be said that the first few items are still relatively conventional and extremely universal, but for them, the perception is not so obvious, and then it comes to the demonstration of several new shipborne weapons.

"Here's a demonstration of a series of new weapons, first of all, the gravity cannon..."The officer said this, and everyone's interest suddenly skyrocketed, after all, weapons can be shot, you can see it, and who doesn't care.

The gravity cannon, simply put, is a derivative of singularity bomb technology, which uses the dual effects of Higgs particles and dark energy tides to squeeze the local space, sealing the enemy in a fixed space, and they can do whatever they want.

"Is this for the enemy?" Several officers asked.

"That's right..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, the officers immediately muttered, "This good thing... Let's contain the unknown first, and then let's have a dead light, electromagnetic cannon or something, and the combat efficiency will be much greater all of a sudden. ”

What officers are most afraid of in actual combat is the enemy's scattered formation, whether it is an electromagnetic cannon or a beam cannon, when encountering the enemy in a dispersed formation, the lethality will be reduced by at least 90%, no wonder the appearance of gravity guns will arouse their close attention.

"Look!" In the direction of the side chord of the spacecraft, a black hole in the muzzle is exposed, compared to the electromagnetic cannon and beam cannon, its muzzle is wider, about 5 meters, which is almost thicker than the sewer pipe, to accommodate the emission of cannonballs.

Subsequently, the gravity cannon was launched at a speed of 500 km / s, exploding, buzz~~~ similar to the singularity bomb, that is, the impact time of the gravity gun is shorter, and the space folding rate is scary, only to cover the space with a radius of 10,000 kilometers, thousands of targets are gathered within a range of 10 kilometers, it is simply fired casually, and it can cause a lot of damage.

"Is this a new product from the Quantum Research Institute? Yes, yes, our Skywalker fleet is very interested, and a major officer laughed, thinking that if there were so many more gravity cannons in the spaceship, they would not have to bother to lock on, predict, and it would be easier to hit the target.

The officer in charge of the demonstration bowed: "Thank you, as there are several weapons and equipment to be demonstrated below, please be patient and watch." ”

"And many more?" The officers were a little surprised, and when they saw the smiling and silent faces of the researchers and consultants of the research institutes around them, they knew that this was indeed the case. (To be continued.) )

PS: The network connection was interrupted for half an hour, and the telecom was still a little unstable
